Very very interesting visit. We probably went because it was free which is a shame as it was so interesting.

We visited the Trout centre on our way South. It’s a really good place to take a break on a big trip. There is a small museum, a fantastic aquarium with native fish and eels and the opportunity to see trout up close. The walkways are through bush full of birdlife (we heard Tui) and the staff are very friendly.

Visitors to the Centre will learn how trout came to New Zealand and why trout fishing is such a big business in New Zealand. There is an aquarium inside and hatchery outside. The centre has special kids' programs. Our guide was a very informed gentleman and his enthusiasm was genuine

We were given a fairly comprehensive view of what the purpose of the centre was, and what they did. The little museum was interesting, and the art being exhibited was a nice added extra. The walk through the grounds is very pleasant, and particularly lovely along the banks of the Tongariro river.

this place is sooo full of information that you take for granted.the kids had a fabulous time and the guide was fantastic.the setting is out of this world and we were sooo lucky to have a fabulous day to see all of this amazing place.i had a great day and hope to go again.

what a great place to relax and unwind with the children. the place has undertaken a facelift as some have told me. the kids and i enjoyed a lovely day feeding the fish and all the while the visit was free. great place to enjoy with friends and family.

We came down here for a look, we really enjoyed it. Its presented very well, all done up very nice. Lots of infomation to read, and good to see some nice big trout up close and to feed them.

A brand new facility, featuring a priceless collections of rods and reels, books and other memorabilia. The new aquarium features only native fish in typical settings. Set in native bush, walk through the bush along the bubbling Tongaririo River. A good place to take the grandchildren or your own, take a picnic, feed the fish in the children's pool, lie... More

You see the young trout development right through to the mature trout in pools. Its amazing. The staff in the information centre were very informed and the display in there worth spending time to look at. Plus its FREE.
